Cooking consumes much less gas then home heating and it is much easier to replace. In other words the gas grid will die with that law in place.
Voyager is already cross platform for iOS, Android and web. It is also open source: https://github.com/aeharding/voyager
It actually does hurt them though. First of all companies offer shares after IPOs all the time. Things like stock options for employees and acquisitions with new stock are common. High share prices help a company that way. Then the next part is lending. Companies with high values get better lending options from banks and the market in form of bonds. This is already a problem for them in Europe, which has a lot of ESG. It is not going to kill them, but it will make life harder for them.

As in slavery is a great way to bring culture to those black slaves?
The concept of degrowth is powerful because it is clear that we need systemic change to avoid ecological collapse: business as usual with a “green tinge” isn’t going to be enough. It is also true that individual change drives cultural change which can be the key to unlocking political change leading...
Russia failed in forcing the trading partners to switch to rubel, but the Russian companies are forced to convert earnings into rubel. At the same time most big export companies in Russia are government owned(Gazprom, Rosneft and other resource exporters). So this way the Russian government gets more money, but it increases inflation.
Only if they actually get a peace deal. Otherwise Russia still has EU sanctions and a war going on.
You can exchange it over the counter and it also matters in relation to other currencies.
or just Russia having fewer tanks and armoured vehicles. Looking at their tank storage that is not that unlikely.
Even worse European are buying less cars then usual, due to them being so expensive.
Exchange rate. I am an idiot:

The Rubel is not freely traded. The Central Bank sets the exchange rates.
EDIT: exchange rate not interest rates. Shit.
Looks like it. Russia's economy is collpasing right now. I just hope the Saudis loose their shit and start lowering the oil price. They are actually pissed at the Russians for not actually lowering production as agreed in OPEC+. That would kill the Russian economy.
That is why China and the EU invest so much into green tech. China needs to import a lot of its fossil fuels via ships and the US still has the biggest navy and China would have some problem solving something like the Red Sea Crisis right now. For the EU Russia was a massive wake up call. The only big one who does not see this is the US, which has a lot of fossil fuels.
Rostec is an arms maker and I am not crying for Russias arms industry right now.
It seems that the last human societies on earth to live the mobile lifestyles that our species maintained for hundreds of thousands of years do so largely as equals—but equals who must be very careful to stay that way.
The way it used to work is that on each auction day they try to sell a certain number of bonds. Usually about the same amount for each auction day. If they did not sell or they needed more money they had special auctions as well, with better offers if needed. That was usually the case, when they offered them at too favourable conditions for the Russian government and the better offers sold the rest of the bonds easily and where usually not that much better.
So before 2/3 of the bonds should have been sold by now.
Russia pays NK in a bunch of stuff and we already saw some proof of payments. Namely missile technology going to NK, but also resources like oil and food, which NK needs desperatly. If Russia would not pay, then NK would not send troops and weapons. So they have to do it.
And this is what happens when the Russian economy collapses. The good part that this means Russia can produce less weapons. However the struggling families will sell their men to Putin to survive. So we will see even higher losses for the Russians. By the end of this Russia will be done as a great power.
